Voices of Rebellion: Interviews with former students attending the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts in 1969

As part of the ongoing project Inflections of Design, Art and Craft – Debates and reforms at the Danish design schools since 1967 we have initiated a series of interviews with former students at the two state-supported design schools situated in Copenhagen and Kolding. The goal of the project is to clarify how ideals of and debates on art, craft and design have formed the Danish design schools and their relationships to culture, industry and politics (Lees-Maffei & Sandino 2004). The project’s starting point is to investigate the turbulent years around 1970, to trace how the debates and the schools developed and shaped the expectations of design today.
